FanArt: PSU Artwork by DJ (Currently in Progress: 4 )

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Hello there, PSOW!

I'm currently working on a few art work on PSU and would like to share one or two to you guys.
I will show it's progress as I complete each step day by day, or probably days by days (depending on how much I update and work on it) so be sure to check this out as time passes!

Now, here's a preview of what my first one looks like:

I'm using Imageshack since the pictures I work on are very big.

Also... I'm going to do a small request form for pictures of your characters to be drawn and painted by me. Only a selected few, though. So... The first 2 to post pictures of their characters from different angles, as well as information about them will be selected.
No more requests at this time... Gotta finish these first xD

Images and drawings are all done on Photoshop 7 without the use of drawing palettes, but with only an optical mouse.

I don't have screen shots of my character, 360 version makes that difficult.
Can I post images I've snagged from PSOW that look quite alike?

EDIT: Kinda like this (http://www.apocalypse-tribe.com/ac9breaker/Videogames/psuex_0063.jpg) guy.

He once saved the life of a magical pimp, who then granted him fantastic powers. The Guardians merely borrow his services in exchange for a fully equipped kitchen where he cooks excellent italian food. Authorities are yet unsure if this is due to the magical pimp's powers, or if it is natural talent. He wields the chainsawd like a master brain surgeon does the scalpel. His name is Deucer, and yes, he is aware his name sometimes means poop.

Thanks and have fun with the colors/pose.

You sure can.

[CelestialBlade]

Check my sig for full artwork. I'd just post screenshots, but this is how she'll look in AoI. She's holding the Twin Tornado there.

As far as character information goes, she's a 17-year-old Guardian, in it to protect the Gurhal system from the SEED, and all those influenced by the SEED. This is driven by the murder of her childhood friend when she was young. She joined the Guardians when she was old enough, intent on discovering what made people do things like murder innocent children, and find a way to help stop it. She believes something much bigger is driving the SEED and the Illuminus, something she can only call "Dark Force."

If you need anything else let me know, I'm at work right now so responses might be slow. Your artwork is looking awesome!

[Deucer]

Whoops, PSOW lag and my battery dying between classes = doublepostage.

Please use the artwork (http://www.layer-infinity.net/artwork/gourmet/chelsea-091207.jpg) primarily, for stuff like her pigtails, outfit, and body features, but those screens should help ya out with the outfit a bit. Let me know if you're interested http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Alright I started to draw the layouts of your characters really quickly. After I get done with those, I'll put them on a bit of a pending until I finish the first art work. >.> I'm not fast at these things since I want them to be precise since I only use a mouse to work on these xD! (I really zoom in like 1600x to pinpoint everything.)I haven't began on your character yet, Typheros, but I will later tommorow.

I'll update soon!



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Dj_SkyEpic on 2007-11-05 16:55 ]</font>

[CelestialBlade]

I appreciate it a lot, thanks and good luck with your own piece, it's coming out really well.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Didn't get much work in some of these today, but I've uploaded a small bit of what I did so far.

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/1306/cowboycopy1mw0.jpg

Still pending Typhero's! I'll get around to these soon xD

I acutally started drawing ALL of the clothing DonkeyBeats was wearing even the bottoms, until I noticed that the request was for the other bottom! So I had to redraw that part and lost time, lol. Oh well.

Update soon!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Dj_SkyEpic on 2007-11-06 18:47 ]</font>

[Deucer]

It's hard to resist Donkeybeatz, I know. XD
Thanks again man.

[CelestialBlade]

Take your time ;P

Deucer's is looking awesome thus far. Hat is made of win.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Did a bit of editing in the morning with the arm skin tone for my character's image.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e349/skyepic/Wallpapers/Epicskin.jpg

The hair is going to be a challenge xD... I hate PS7 for not having a good amount of selectable brush combination thus having to download them. Hmm, I'll just wing it.

Ok I'll work on Typhero's outline today!
Update Soon!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

A quick update.

I decided to do a motion-like scene for Typheros.

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/9673/dualweildingsketchpw7.th.jpg (http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dualweildingsketchpw7.jpg)

The character will be dual wielding, as seen in other pictures.

I'll finalize these outlines by the end of tommorow, I hope xD.

Also, Here's the project that got me started on wanting to start all of this. It was something I was first working on.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e349/skyepic/Wallpapers/Hyacrop.jpg


Anyways, update Soon!

Oooo, action pose http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif That looks like the pose you sometimes get put in when weilding Mechguns in PSO, awesome!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Having too much fun drawing Chelsea now >.>... I got to get back on Deucer xD

http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/409/chelseayq3.jpg

Update soon!

[Micro]

Didn't know Dj was doing artwork. XD
Can't wait to see end results for these.

I've been doing plenty lately. Just some things to do while taking time off playing PSU.

Anyways! I decided to work on Deucer's arm color tone first since... I really wanted to work on that for some reason >.>

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1975/cowboydeuceryk6.jpg

Since I skipped a lot of things, I know a few parts are a tad off. Of course this is very close to the beginning of the project anyways. That's the magic about Photoshop... Layers! >.>. I can get back on those afterwards xD.

I'm still iffy about the face, which is one reason why it's color tone is off, as well as facial expression and definition. I don't like having it look too anime either. We'll just have to see what I come up with...

Anyways, towards Deucer,
I hope ya like how it's coming along!

Update soon!

[Deucer]

Hey man, I dig. Told you to have fun with it, so you do what you like!

[qoxolg]

Your coloring is very good. Especially the skintone.. but I have to admit that I got a soft spot for that smooth/soft coloring style.

Outline for Typheros so far:

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5921/chelsea1io7.jpg

I'll make her hair a little bit longer once comes finishing touches for the outline.

That's it for now,
Updates are soon to come!

[CelestialBlade]

*dies of cute*

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Another update before I go out.

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/941/hoodiecowboyjf4.jpg

Starting to look real!

I'll get back to working on typhero's outline once I get back, then I'll work on a bit of my character's coloring.

Update soon!~

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Worked on Chelsea's image tonight. Didn't do too much but here are a few results.

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/6866/chelsea2ht2.jpg

Thinking of trying to draw Battle Stopper (12* Twin Handguns)

http://gfxevolution.com/uploads/psu/twinguns.jpg

Going to be sizzlin' hawt!

Check out later updates!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Celsea's coloring time!

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6166/chelseastockingsgw2.jpg

Started off with the skirt and stockings.

My Photoshopping technique:
As you can see from the way I color, I first add in the base color. Then I would bring in a blend of the tool of burn and dodge. Afterwards, add in a mix of white with the smudge tool.
Usually afterwards, I would add a bit of extra hue of the basic color towards the finishing product. That will help make the texture feel more realistic.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/769/realisticcoloringto2.jpg

Updates soon!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Omfg Chelsea, I was in the middle of painting your character when this creature attacked out of no where, so then your character jumped behind some rocks to shield herself from harm!

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1360/omfgrappygn3.th.jpg (http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=omfgrappygn3.jpg)
http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif
Kidding. I just thought that would be an interesting position to place her in during the final editing sequences.http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_chicken.gif


So far, working on skin tone for Chelsea.
It's coming rather nicely, and I will save the head and gun for last.

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2995/bottompreviewsa4.jpg

More updates soon. (I'll update Saturday night.)

[qoxolg]

Haha.. brilliant! that rappy is awesome..

and the lighting on the skirt looks great! it inspired me to do some lighting on the clothes of the pic I am coloring http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Keep up the good work!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Thanks! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif I work very very slow, but progress is progress after all!
And I would love to see your finishing work as well.

That rappy was actually from a previous artwork I did but I'll show those later after I'm done with all of these

Thanks for the support!
(again, the next update will be around Saturday night!Stay tuned!)

I lol'd. Actually she'd be too busy hugging the Rappy :3

Your coloring is very detailed, I do a little art myself but I've always struggled hardcore with making coloring that looks detailed and realistic. Awesome stuff, this is looking amazing.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Cancel that update for tonight.
I'm going to reformat my computer so I'll be transferring files around and reinstalling plentiful amounts of programs.

Computer's been a bum lately >.>...

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Finally got my computer all in working order (sort of.) Had a lot of trouble with the drivers >..>
Darn .netframework installation had to be in first before the video drivers.

Anyways, I need an update.
I decided that I'll focus on Chelsea for a bit until I get her mostly done.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/812/chelseaupperrq3.jpg

Working on the upper body so far. Didn't really have enough time on it for today.
It's all good though. I'll probably be able to complete coloring her body by today.
Anyways, Update soon.

[Deucer]

Wow, coloring is coming along great! How many layers do you use?

[Dj_SkyEpic]

It can go over 100 xD but the current ones are around 30.

[qoxolg]

Wow! 100? I always try to keep it at 30, when I do more, photoshop starts to get real slow.. But I usually work at a resolution of 4000x8000.

Anayway, the coloring looks real good! are you doning all the lighting/shading with just blending dodge/burn layers?

[Dj_SkyEpic]

My lighting/shading are all done mainly with blending the dodge and burn as well as a pale version of the base color for added depth.

It's not all bad with 100 layers! The first layers I go with are usually the outline... Everything else just cuts down as their own layer xD... (Well I do group things that are far apart from one another such as the skirt edges.)

I just got used to grouping a few layer by name and color. I'm still new at photoshop, though! I haven't learnt exactly how to group things properly and recently got used to the pen tool. I haven't also learned how to use the other tool types too. >.>... I should experiment with them soon, but right now just relaxing with my chosen style for a bit.

Edited for redundancy. xD...

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Dj_SkyEpic on 2007-11-11 09:14 ]</font>

[Deucer]

Layers <3 !

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Here's another update for ya'.

Ok, so I lied about keeping the hair and head for last >.> I couldn't resist messing with it.
Here's my attempt at making hair so far. I'm keeping with the lines to keep a "base" look.
Once that's all done, I will go crazy with it xD...

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/5813/chelseahairzn9.jpg
Now that I think about it. Her eyes are too big. I'll work on those later.
Updates later tonight.

Ah! I've been wondering where it went. >...> took 20 minutes...

Anyways, update!

Worked on the eyes a bit more and also tried to detail a bit more of the hair. I'll try to get this portion of the art work done by sometime tomorrow or the day after. Still sort of weird with the eye, though. I got to keep working on that more.

http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7086/hairdetailwr5.jpg

Thanks for your interests! More updates to come.

[qoxolg]

Good job on the hair! and your serious your doing this with only an optical mouse? imagine what you could do with a tablet.. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Yea, working really slowly with a mouse >< If I scanned my art they would probably be faster xD.

[Deucer]

I actually prefer working with a mouse, though it works well with my simple style. I suppose I would prefer a tablet and stylus should I really get into blending and the like, but when it gets down to digital stuff I'm more of a simple illustration and design sort of guy. I really enjoy using the pen tool in Illustrator, too.

Though maybe there's just something dreadfully wrong with my artwork. >_>
Every time I post it, conversation ends and the topic cascades downwards.

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Here's an update for tonight. I finally got to be able to work a bit on the picture again ( been rather busy) so I tried to finish up the hair and did a bit of the hand.

http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/7874/chelseahandsampleoz4.jpg

That's probably my worst enemy ever when it comes to art. The hands!

Hmm... You can see the detailed hairs as they are jutting out sort-of. I think some parts I need to tone down and others need more depth. I'll work on those later.

I'm pretty close to finishing this character! I dunno how many more updates it will need though xD! Stay tuned on the next exciting episodes of... DB...

Art.

Heh, a tablet is in every case better then an Optical Mouse. It's WAY more accurate, which makes it alot easier to create alot of small detail and of course the pressure sensitiveness, which alows you to draw thinner/thicker lines when you press soft/hard. And besided that, Optical mouse often have their own life and they suddenly make a stroke you didn't want.

for me it's: Tablet>>>>>>(Apple)Touchpad>>>Lasermouse>>>>>>>>>>>>Optical Mouse

And there is probably not much wrong with your stuff, if you want to keep your topic alive, you need to post a W.I.P. and keep updating it frequently.
---------------------

anyway, the hand doesn't look that bad at all. Since you said it's almost finished.. what kind of background are you gonna do?

I prefer threads with a few, related comments to those where 25 out of 40 comments are my own.

Be interesting to see how all've these'll turn out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Deucer]

The issue is that I don't get any feedback, positive, negative, constructive, etc. Maybe two?
Not that I'm too worried what the internet thinks, college peers are critics enough. But you don't exactly know what the hell I'm talking about really - anything you post is loved unconditionally, related to PSO/PSU or not.

Cherry Blossoms are what I had in mind.

Here's another update on one of the things I worked on for this picture: The guns.

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/4527/gunsketchbx4.jpg

Going to make that a single layer all together. I'll make the photon a separate layer. Looks weird right now I understand, xD... I don't have a good source for how the gun actually looks like. (I'm just using the picture I posted of it earlier and the picture from the S rank catalog.) Still need a lot of work on it, though.
As for the character itself, I'm working on her photon on her shirt atm. A lot of Pink! blinding... e..o

More updates to come.

I've seen a few of your vector-like artwork and I really do like them. The probable idea as to why there's dying interest is that maybe there needs to be more within the picture since there's usually only few things to display.

For example... Drawing flames are nice to look at, but if you draw a camp ground with skies and forests, then that'll bring a lot more attention.

Hope ya' understand!

[CelestialBlade]

Chelsea says: Pink is good!

I like how the Battlestopper is turning out!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Tonight's update is: Most of the areas I touched on at least.

[spoiler-box]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3972/almostcompleteli2.jpg[/spoiler-box]

I decided not to make them separate images and give ya a display.
Of course I can't show you a full product until the final version! So that's why it's like this.

I was able to work the gun into a hand! That's awesome. I can't wait to add a photon into it and the GRM label.
I'll try to work on the other half of the twin gun tommorow as well as start on a background.

Until next time! More updates to come.

[Para]

I think the lower body/legs are the win.

[qoxolg]

The lineshield and other glowing stuff looks real good http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Can't wait for the finished picture!

[Dj_SkyEpic]

Oh man. I don't know what I'm doing, XDD Ok, I'm in the "beta" of the character so far. Might need to tone her outline and so forth. It's been a long long drive to get to this area.

All I need to worry about now is the background and I'm not good at that xD; I'll still try for the blossom effects, but... I did say I wasn't going to show the character until the finished product. Well, let's just scratch that. Here's a huge image of her. Huge... Really.
[spoiler-box]http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/8176/fullchelseaqn3.jpg[/spoiler-box]

Now to think of a background! X...x;;

Oh! and to start on the others! Boy, seriously. I had a lot of fun with this one.

[spoiler-box]...and yes! I got really lazy with the ribbon and used a bummed-out bevel and embossing effect >..>;; I'll work on it later! xD[/spoiler-box]

My bad for the couple days of no updates. Just haven't been able to get on photoshop.

Anyway, I'm still trying to test out how to draw blossoms correctly. Seems like I might have to create my own brush for that.

Here's a test right now...

I might try a night sky instead. It's just a test, though.

Update... eventually? >.>;

No dont change it thats perfect the buds on the flowers are fine but the little blemishes will probobly take time to draw

great job on the grass! and about the sky.. it depends... the blue sky is not really matching the skintone of the character, but you can do two things: Add a blue shade to the character (a big soft blue/gray brush on 15~25 Opacity does the trick for me most of the time) or change the Hue/saturation of the sky a bit to make it match the skintone.
and goodluck with the blossom!

looking formward to the result http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Nov. 21st! I've been waiting for this one http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

This is a very special thing I've been holding up till now, and one of the reasons that kept me to continue playing PSU through 1up where I made my decision to discontinue due to real life values ( and not anything concerned about change in game play or what-not.) Whether I made friends or enemies, It has been a pleasure. There would always be something to look forward to in the game and forums that way.

Anyways, I Didn't really know how or what to give so this was what I came up with. I wish I had worked on it a bit more though but time doesn't permit. As noted before, this was the project that jump started what I wanted to do in this topic, and I hope to finish these all pretty soon... anyways... Click for big picture. big...
